[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just to let you guys know, I get my semaglutide shipped from Canada. For a three-month supply with shipping, it costs me just under $1000 a month.They don't have Wegovy yet, so I just get Ozmepic. You'll need a prescription.

Do you need a prescription from a Canadian doctor?[/quote]

No. I'm one of the OP on the first page (I have the eating disorder) and I got a prescription from my PA. You send in your prescription to the Canadian pharmacy, one of their doctors "approves" it and then you send license and payment information and it gets shipped out. My PA put me on semaglutide almost immediately after it was approved for weight loss, so my first pen was a sample pen from my medical clinic. When I told the pharmacy in Canada that I was on my last dose, they rushed the medication and I got it in three days. They were so helpful. I called, found out exactly what I needed to do and how much to pay, and then everything else was done by text message (except for giving them payment info, I did that over the phone.)

If you decide to ask your health care provider to give you a prescription, make sure that they write "semaglutide" on the script and not 'wegovy'. That's not available in Canada yet.

It works out to be about $300 a month for me. 
In Mexico it's even cheaper, but unfortunately my passport lapsed during the pandemic and I haven't gotten it renewed yet. Even so, I actually prefer paying a little more to get it from Canada, I just feel safer.

Look, I know from the outside looking in that this is crazy. But I had my first pen for free and I lasted me through six doses (6 weeks). I KNEW that it worked and I was unwilling to consider any other options. My dh is a doctor, and he encouraged this for me after studying up on it. Paying $300 a month is a small price to pay for how much this medication helps me and how effective it is.

Thank you for this information. Did you also experience nausea like the other posters?  If so, how did you deal with it?  I think this could be a good solution for me (need to lose 60 lbs) but the possibility of constant nausea is making me nervous.[/quote]
